Fabbrica

Tim Manning’s wines have long been admired not only for their purity and precision, but also for their little bit of daring. A native of England, Tim has for over two decades made his own way in Italy. He is deeply cognizant of the region’s history and yet unafraid to make his own choices in the name of Tuscany’s future. A devoted student of the school of Sangiovese, his wines are neo-classical.

Fabbrica Pienza is a relatively new winery built on an old estate once owned by a family Newton. Here one can feel Sangiovese’s range: red-fruit, dusty earth, and persistent tannin, but with elegance and lift always at the fore. Tim notes that these features are what is innate to the noble grape of Tuscany but too often concealed by excess extraction, sulfur, and oak.
